ThinkCamera has test the Nokia N73’s camera capability against the Fujifilm F20 digital camera and they write, “Here’s the bottom line – two of us from the office tried out the N73 under a variety of circumstances. Both of us agreed that if we were getting a new phone it would be the N73. The quality doesn’t stack up against a decent Fuji but it produces pictures that are perfectly good for web use or even 6X4 prints. With the right image and conditions, even a 10X8 is possible straight from camera. With very careful editing, who knows?
A year ago, this test would have been a joke. Camera phones produced tiny blocky pictures that looked more like security videos from Crimewatch. Now we are comparing them to a rather nice camera. OK, the camera wins every time on image quality but as a package there’s not as much in it as you might think – who knows what will happen when we try this next year?”
